__________________________________

The Usual Fine Print:

• 100 hours is the goal, but based on your own time and situation you can shoot for more or less, so we have different levels from Coal to Unobtanium:
  200 Hours - Unobtanium
  175 Hours - Adamantium
  150 Hours - Vibranium
  125 Hours - Platinum
  100 Hours - Gold
  75 Hours - Silver
  50 Hours - Bronze
  25 Hours - Copper
  <25 Hours - Coal
• If you're going to re-post your entire list every time, please hide it under spoiler tags.
• If you're going to post pictures or .gifs for the films (poster art or Blu-ray covers, for example) please try not to use GIANT pictures or .gifs, and if there are tons of them, again - please hide under spoilers.

S'en fout la mort [No Fear, No Die] (1990: Claire Denis)

First viewing.

As much as I love to see Isaach de Bankolé in action, one of Jim Jarmusch's recurrent actors, this film by Claire Denis didn't have much effect on me.
Except its music and its shady locations in the Parisian industrial suburbs.
5/10
